Here is where the module will be mounted on the logic board, you can make out the word Bluetooth on the logic board: It will work but I was not comfortable with the fact the lead could short the logic board. Note the connector for the antenna is located on the backside (right) possibly causing the lead to ground out on the logic board should it become loose. Here is the backside of the (older) BT Module: (Notice there is NO antenna connector on the front side, this could allow contact to the logic board and cause a short.) You do NOT want to use this one from a REV A G5 dual 2.0 pictured below. Note the connector for the logic board on the left side. The Apple Computer (Bluetooth v1.1) part number is 922-6784 (Model A1115) pictured below:

(FYI: August 15th, 2006 news page had 2 Mac Pro owner's notes on using PowerMac G5 Bluetooth Module)
I just want a wireless mouse and keyboard, so I don't mind. You will see faster file transfer rates with the 2.0 module than with the 1.1. Tools you should have to assure a safe and easy installation - a Ground Strap and a good magnetized Phillips 0 screwdriver.Īnd the correctly configured BT Module, the one I used was not the one designed for the Mac Pro but it works, it is a Bluetooth v1.1 and the one that comes with the Mac Pro is Bluetooth 2.0.
If you perform this procedure you do at your own risk. Please keep in mind that this is supposed to be installed by an Apple Certified Dealer and that adding this device could void your warranty.

This is a detailed instruction guide I made to install the Bluetooth Module on a Mac Pro. The original article from William follows:
( I had added several links here to articles on this problem in 2006/2007, but removed them years later after links failed (articles were either moved or removed).) (And they usually reported very poor bluetooth range/performance.) One affected owner said his BT antenna wire wasn't fully seated - something to check first if you have this problem. Note: There were several reports from early Mac Pro owners that the Bluetooth antenna cable was incorrectly marked.
